Inspirational Friday

A woman is saved minutes before she is about to get smashed by a freight train. A New York  woman (Laurie Eldridge) who was working in her garden witnessed a car driving over train tracks near her home. The car got stuck and Laurie ran to the aid of the woman who refused to get out of the car. Laurie put her hand through the partial opened window of the car and unlocked the door and dragged the 81-year-old disoriented woman from the car, seconds before the train side swiped the car. The train was traveling speeds of 40 mph.

"Lakers" Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa start a homeless family foundation in Los Angeles. Kobe stated "that on his way back from playing with the "Los Angeles Lakers" he noticed families living on the streets and that upset him." He decided to make a difference and he created the "Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation," which will benefit the lives of youths and families in need. The first step that his foundation will address is to get the kids off the streets in L.A. and then permanent housing for homeless families. The "Bryant Foundation" will team up with "Step Up on Second" in Santa Monica. There are over 10,000 homeless kids under the age 24 living in the streets of L.A.
